Re: Dad's 66 Custom Camper - Big Family/Small Budget
FedEx did a followup and the house they dropped my package off at claims they received nothing..... They delivered it to my address space "L"... well that's because Eastwood forgot to add L"ot #50" makes a big difference when there is an actual space L in my mobile home park ..... Also makes me pissed because people are so dishonest these days, bet you anything that person in space L is trying to figure out how much they can make off my order they accidentally received
Up to Eastwood now to make things right, I have heard good things about them and it stinks but they really need to suck this one up, they left 6 characters off the shipping label which caused the whole shipping mix up..... More progress to come once I get the stuff I need, sucks waiting!

Re: Dad's 66 Custom Camper - Big Family/Small Budget
Hey at least Eastoowd did the right thing. Besides with last weekend being mother's day it's probably best my parts didn't show up, might have put me in the dog house

Re: Dad's 66 Custom Camper - Big Family/Small Budget
Went ahead and removed the tank supports in the cab
Plan is to remove these and weld them to the floor since the supports are no longer in place, any other ideas? Due to my limited work space I have resorted to storing everything in the bed Will be working on the floor/front door pillar/drivers kick panel repair tomorrow!

Re: Dad's 66 Custom Camper - Big Family/Small Budget
Had an exciting weekend took my son to his first baseball game:
His favorite part was the lizard mascott running around, He had to point him out everytime he saw him lol Got the rust cut out and started cutting and fitting patch panels. So Far the only issue is the floor board doesnt seem to match the angle of the upper floor/firewall seam. Going to spray some rust converter on some exposed parts then coat with eastwood's rust encapsulator before welding in the new peices.

Re: Dad's 66 Custom Camper - Big Family/Small Budget
